HEARDS members would
really want to thank Toy Bank for donating toys towards HEARDS Child labor
rehabilitation centers. We started to utilize the toys donated by you
which really found to be so interesting. As per my observation I have
found that toys and games not only amuse children, but also stir their
imagination, stimulate creative instinct and spontaneous thinking. They also
sharpen the child’s reasoning enlarge his/ her vision, encourage free flow of
thoughts, improve observation power and concentration. Some toys and games test
speed and perception. Some others teach discipline, honesty, truth, courage,
etc .and develop the spirit of co-operative competitiveness. I found after
utilizing these toys an interesting fact as long as the human society realizes
this basic truth, it will remain incomplete. HEARDS will certainly intend
fillings this void.

HEARDS will certainly
realize its importance because all these days we were teaching non-formal and
formal education through easy based learning methodologies but now we started
to realize that we need to include toys are one of the most effective teaching
aid. I also realized that our children at our rehabilitation centers feel
that the toys and games will stimulate the child’s perception and imagination,
encourage their mental development and this process will create the process of
learning with more greater fun.

Our organization
believes that today’s children are tomorrow’s pillars of strength,
and hence anything done for them is never adequate enough. This is an
innovative step towards rehabilitation of child laborers which were not taken
as a component since decades of working on child labor rehabilitation.
Certainly the toys will be utilized in a more efficient way in the future and
come out with more objectives.
